    Gmail
    I use it to read my email, naturally. I've also got it set up to read my UCD email though, so I don't have to use the horrible UCD email application. Then I've got all my filters set-up to automatically label, archive and star mail from different places.

    Facebook

    For my stalking, y' know.

    Twitter
    I tweeted 3 times while in a nightclub last night. I have problems.

    ZDnet
    I'm really interested in computer security and exploits so I read up on all the latest security flaws there.
    Hence getting rid of Windows two weeks ago. :pac:

    Ultimate Guitar
    Does it need an explantion? The name says it all.

    I also go on youtube to check my subscriptions, xkcd, stumbleupon, boards (really?) and lots of others, but these are the main ones.

    I always thought that was the best thing about RSS feeds, rather than regularly checking a site that's not updated you just add a feed and forget about it until the feed reader tells you there's something.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,944 ✭✭✭Jay P


    I don't use RSS at all, though that's because you need an add-on for Chrome which I don't feel like getting.

    The websites I visit most:
    • Hotmail
    • Soundcloud
    • Stereomood
    • Grooveshark
    • Tuneglue
    • Boards.ie
    • Radiohead.com
    • Last.fm
    • Boards.ie
    • Facebook
    • webmail.ucc.ie
    • Tumblr
    • xkcd, and about 7 other webcomics
    • 9gag
    • BBC Food
    • Youtube

    Among others...

    If you have a gmail account you also have a Google Reader account which doesn't require an addon.
    There are addons you can get (I have one which shows how much unread stuff I have, rather than checking myself) but not needed, just go to the webpage and if you're signed in it shows you them all.

    Pople still use torrents? :L Is RS actually fast for you? I find Meagupload better.
    Yeah I still use torrents. Fact is that Waffles and WhatCD are very convenient. I use TPB for the odd file I can't find on RS\MF.
    And of course you'd find megaupload better if you don't have a premium acc on either. But I get around 320kb/s on some files on RS with my crappy eircom connection.

    Guys, discussion of torrents and file-sharing ain't allowed here.


    Also, I've been using Blogger a lot recently, can't remember if I put that in the list before.
